Review on Garmin Vívoactive Smaller Sized Smartwatch Monitoring by Jesus Baker

After I got my Apple Watch and Galaxy Watch I decided to switch to Garmin. I've made a firm decision to remain a regular customer. I saved a lot of money by buying a refurbished one which I will do again. I wouldn't have known it was renewed if I hadn't bought this product myself. It looked and worked perfectly. I like the GPS function. It tracks distance, pace, and heart rate displayed while you run. I love that it counts my steps and that my face is always on even when I'm not exercising. I work in oncology, everything is on time and I keep checking my watch. I don't have to constantly shake my wrist to turn on the screen. I like that the battery life on my regular usage is 5 days without using GPS or music. This is with a constant pulse. I gave the sleeping part 3 stars. I can't tell if this is correct or not because I'm trying to sleep, but I like that I can use this as a quality guide. 3 stars because I lack sleep quality when wearing it. I sleep on my stomach and it's not comfortable for me to sleep at all because I'm lying on my hands. The watch is lightweight and I love that I can download my music from Spotify and pair it with wireless headphones to listen to while I leave my phone at home. While I didn't swim with a watch, it was great to endure sweat and constant washing because I wash my hands religiously and then at work for a while. After wearing it for 5 days, I decided to buy a screen protector because I noticed 3 small scratches. I plan to wear this watch for a while so figured it would scratch as easily as I wear it so better put on a screen protector. So the glass isn't particularly impressive. I had 2 other devices from a different brand and never had to put screen protectors on them, but the glass could be better in other Garmin versions. However, the screen protector I bought does not pose a problem and does not affect the function or feel of the watch in any way. Just a small amount that I don't even realize. I bought the 4s for what I was going to use them for and they were slightly smaller. I have small hands and wrists so this was the perfect combination. Overall yes, I am 100% happy I made this purchase. I would 100% buy it again and still get an extension and yes I will 100% recommend it (5 of my colleagues are already buying one ;).
